About Bobo
Cheeky nickname better left off the birth certificate.
Bobo for boys
Bobo was the name of one of the most famous clowns in American circus history, who performed from the 1920s until the 1970s. But that's not the only reason this makes a less-than-optimal nickname.
Pronounced BOH-boh.
As of October 2026, Bobo ranked #3704 in US births in 1935 SSA.
